Classic Tudor elegance meets a highly functional, modern layout in this thoughtfully renovated 1926 semi-detached North Cleveland Park residence. A welcoming front porch leads into a gracious living room anchored by a stately fireplace with a period-detailed mantel. The unique architectural design places the staircase at the rear of the room, creating an exceptionally wide and airy main level.

The heartbeat of the home is the stunning open-concept chef’s kitchen—with a six-burner Wolf range, custom range hood, and thoughtfully designed custom cabinetry—that flows effortlessly into the dining room. Off the dining room is a versatile built-in workspace, offering a convenient area for a work or tech station, and a powder room.
The spacious and inviting family room features its own fireplace and vaulted ceiling, providing the rare main-level recreational space, and offers seamless interior access to the attached one-and-a-half car garage, with uncommon urban convenience.

The upper level features three bedrooms and two renovated full baths, headlined by a spacious primary suite with en suite bath. The second bedroom is generously sized, while the L-shaped third bedroom offers a distinct sleeping area that transitions into a sun-drenched corner—a perfect sanctuary for a private office or reading room. The hall bath completes this level.

The fully renovated lower level adds exceptional flexibility with its own private outside entrance and full bath, as well as a dedicated laundry room. This level includes space for multiple uses: possibilities include a perfect recreation room, an expansive library and office, or a guest suite.

Located on a prominent corner lot at Van Ness and 38th St NW, the property features a private brick patio and significant potential to expand the green space by thinning the currently lush perimeter. With over 30 windows flooding the home with natural light, and a location just blocks from both the Tenleytown-AU and Van Ness-UDC Metro stations. This home is a rare find that perfectly balances historic charm with modern utility."
The surrounding areas offer a perfect combination of suburban-style tranquility and high-end urban amenities. Just blocks from the vibrant Wisconsin and Connecticut Avenues corridors, and located between Tenleytown and the newly developed City Ridge, which serve as central hubs for the neighborhood.
Connectivity is a hallmark of this location, with two Metros just blocks away. Choose between Tenleytown or Van Ness Metro with direct access to downtown. Outdoor enthusiasts also benefit from proximity to Hearst Recreation Center and Fort Reno Park, while the lush trails of Glover Archbold Park and Rock Creek Park are nearby.
